History of Solar Energy 1767‚ First Solar Collector In the year 1767 a Swiss scientist named Horace-Benedict de Saussure created the first solar collector – an insulated box covered with three layers of glass to absorb heat energy. Saussure’s box became widely known as the first solar oven‚ reaching temperatures of 230 degrees fahrenheit. 1839‚ Photovolataic Effect Defined In 1839 a major milestone in the evolution of solar energy happened with the defining of the photovoltaic effect.

Savannah Hudon Mrs. White English IV 2 February 2014 (Intro) Solar Energy is an underrated renewable energy source. We should be looking to make advances to become more dependent on renewable energy sources such as solar energy. The more we rely on these new energy sources the more carbon dioxide‚ sulfur dioxide‚ and other greenhouse gases we could eliminate from the air which will help ensure a clean and safe environment for future generations. In addition‚ it could aid America to depend

SOLAR ENERGY Our environment is in a fatal state any move could cost us the world. We need to work with the environment and not against it‚ we need to use what it is giving us every day and not every million year‚ once it is gone it is gone. Instead of using fossil fuels and having them burn to waste use solar energy and use what the sun gives us every day. Solar energy is an effective alternative source because there is very little pollution‚ they cut down on fossil fuels and are cost effective
